Liu Xian was really glad to have discovered the talent of Liang Ji, his maternal uncle, and was able to subdue him for his own use.

If a person's talent can be quantified and digitized like the games of later generations, Liu Xian feels that Liang Ji should be a strategist with an intelligence of more than 60.

Although it can't be compared with the well-known strategists of the Three Kingdoms era, he is indeed a talent under Liu Xian who can stand alone.

These days, Liu Xian has been studying the "Taiping Sutra" and has not dealt with the affairs of Liulin Village. Everything is really thanks to Liang Ji's efforts, so that the villagers of Liulin Village can restore some normal life order.

At present, there are more than 260 people in Liulin Village, not including the 20 or so people who are still recuperating.

Although it is said that the real dangerous period has passed, it is not excluded that there will be a few Yellow Turban thieves who will wander to Liulin Village to do evil, or there will be some strong people passing by, and even, some people who will fall to Liulin Village. They must also pay special attention, if they can't explain their origins, they will never dare to let them into the village easily. This situation is similar to what Liu Xian sent Yu Jin, Liang Si, and Liang Wu to Yangshi County to see in the near future.

This is true in Liulin Village, and it is also true in other places.

Therefore, this sentry behavior cannot be stopped, and it is necessary to maintain a sufficient vigilance against outsiders.

Only by letting people keep an eye on the surroundings of Liulin Village, then Liulin Village can know the movements around them at any time. It's just that because the villagers' self-defense forces injured too many people at once, they didn't send people out to keep an eye on them at night.

This task of keeping an eye is still carried out by the old people and children about ten years old.

Children under the age of six are then taken care of by their mothers or some village women. This kind of centralized care was proposed by Liu Xian, so that some manpower could be freed up more likely.

Although the rest are women, what they can do at present is to use some of the resources available in Liulin Village to weave cloth and sew some clothes.

Working together in this way is equivalent to opening a work workshop, and the work efficiency is definitely much faster than those villagers working in their own homes. This is still under the condition that Liu Xian has not really carried out the division of labor management and division of labor production for such a work workshop. If Liu Xian had asked them to carry out an assembly-line production, then the efficiency would definitely be faster.

It's a pity that the original resources of Liulin Village are not too much, and they have almost used up the resources that can be used for weaving and spinning.

Within a few days, Liu Xian would have to find a way to get the women who had to stop work to find other jobs that could generate economic value.

But it just so happens that now Liang Ji has been sent to Xiatao County, although it is true that this day can be a round trip, but it may take two or three days to get things done. Now that he can't go to Yangshi County to buy grain, he can only find a way to get some grain by himself.

In fact, if the situation stabilizes, Liu Xian is really not too worried that he will not be able to get food, but now the food is running out, and it is too late to come up.

In fact, nature will never be short of food, it depends on how to get food from this nature.

Even in winter, there are still many wild vegetables that only grow in winter. Liu Xian asked the women, who no longer had much work to do, to start digging and picking wild vegetables in the fields around the village, so as to reduce the burden of food a little.

In addition, there is a good saying, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to draft the water.

Liulin Village is located in the plain area, and there will be some big mountains in the direction of west and north, and those mountains are the remnants of the Taihang Mountains extending to the plain. But those mountainous areas are still some distance away from Liulin Village, and Liulin Village is not as reliable as the mountains.

But there is a river in Liulin Village, and the Qingshui River, which bypasses from the north of the village, is a big river, and there are many fish in the river. In fact, the Qingshui River in the north of Liulin Village is also connected to a large river formed by the alluvial formation of a large river overgrown with reeds.

There are dozens of open rivers in this large river, separating Liulin Village from Yangshi County.

In other words, Liu Xian could find a way to catch more river fish as food from this river, and even take the fish to Yangshi County to exchange food with those who had food in the city.

Also, the reeds that have no end in sight are actually resources that can be used.

Most of the winter reeds are now yellow, and only the dry stems remain, but the dried reeds can be harvested and processed a little, so that they can be used to weave many goods that can generate economic value.

When Liu Xian was a child, he lived in the south, and the local area was dominated by the production of bamboo fabrics, and he also made some bamboo fabrics with the locals when he was a child, so he really understands. It's the same with reed stems instead of bamboo strips.

In fact, isn't Liu Bei a businessman who weaves mats and sells shoes? Some of the straw sandals and straw mats he knitted were actually woven from reeds.

Of course, if it is only used to weave straw sandals and straw mats, it will definitely not be worth much, and it is estimated that it will be extremely difficult to sell in Julu County. Now that everyone lacks food, they are dying of starvation, who will have the money to buy straw sandals and straw mats? Is it used to wrap the body?

What Liu Xian thinks about is not to weave these, but to weave more knitted products that can be used in life, and even some exquisite woven crafts.

These will definitely not be sold in Julu, but Liu Xian's eyes are further away, in those local cities that are relatively prosperous and not much affected by the war.

What Liu Xian thought of was only the work that could be used under the current environmental conditions, and the work that could be done by the current villagers and women, or the work that could produce economic wealth. In addition, it is still the current winter, and the villagers and women can stay at home and avoid the cold while doing work.

In the entire Liulin Village, there are a total of twenty or thirty adult men, and these men were basically recruited into the Self-Defense Forces by Liu Xian. At that time, in the spring of the next year, there may be no one in Liulin Village to work in the fields.

What's more, even if these more than ten Self-Defense Force men are allowed to take care of farming, how much work can these more than ten people do? How many fields can be cultivated? Will the output of the little land they cultivate enough to feed the more than 200 people in the village? Obviously, that's not possible.

But Liu Xian would not have thought of letting these more than a dozen adult men from the Self-Defense Forces work in the fields, and he did not think of relying on them to cultivate and harvest to feed the villagers of Liulin Village.

According to Liu Xian's plan, just let these 100 or so villager women do some handicrafts this winter, and the economic benefits produced will be enough to feed the villagers of Liulin Village. If it works well, there will be a surplus, and it can even make a big profit.
